WOMAN SHARES HER QR CODE FOR ORDERING FOOD, OTHERS USED IT & SHE END UP WITH $80K BILL

0

In the age of digital sharing, a simple mistake can lead to unexpected consequences. Such was the case for a woman in China, whose seemingly innocent act of sharing her dining experience resulted in an astonishing 430,000-yuan restaurant bill.

This incident sheds light on the importance of online security and the potential risks associated with casual online behavior.

Posts her ordering QR code online

On November 23, a woman named Wang went to a hotpot restaurant with a friend. Eager to share the delightful experience, she intended to post pictures of the delicious food on her WeChat page. However, in a moment of distraction, Wang inadvertently posted the ordering QR code for her table instead, according to the South China Morning Post.

Despite Wang’s efforts to limit the post’s visibility to her contacts, the consequences were swift and unexpected. Many individuals scanned the code, leading to a cascade of fake orders.

The result? A jaw-dropping USD$60,300 bill, encompassing 1,850 portions of fresh duck blood, 2,580 portions of squid, and a whopping 9,990 portions of shrimp paste.

As news of the incident spread on social media, public reactions varied. Some expressed sympathy for Wang’s predicament, while others found humor in the unusual circumstances. The incident serves as a stark reminder of how quickly information, even unintentionally shared, can spiral out of control in the digital realm.

Restaurant “give chance”

Fortunately, the restaurant demonstrated empathy and decided not to hold Wang accountable for the additional orders. Instead, they relocated her to a new table. However, the establishment faced its own challenges, unable to trace the individuals responsible or prevent further orders from being placed.

For Wang, this incident was a valuable lesson in information security. She urged others to be cautious when sharing food pictures online, emphasizing the potential risks associated with seemingly harmless actions. While technology has made sharing convenient, it also comes with unforeseen pitfalls.

Wang’s call for caution resonated with many on social media. One user highlighted the convenience of QR codes but cautioned about the accompanying risks. The incident sparked a broader conversation about the need for heightened awareness and responsible online behavior.

MAN STOPS EX-WIFE FROM VISITING 10 Y.O SON BECAUSE SON’S HAIR WAS DYED PINK

0

A man shared how he stopped his ex wife from visiting their son after he found him with pink dyed hair.

Here is the story:

I have full custody of my 10yo son. His mom was hanging out with some bad people. Over the last few years, I’ve allowed her to spend weekends with him.

He’s at that age where he is pushing boundaries and I’m fine with it as long as it is within limits. I picked him up from tuition on Monday and he was wearing a hat, which was weird. He never wears any sort of hat.

He said he had a surprise and showed off pink hair. It was done almost professionally with chemicals. He has light brown hair that she got bleached and then had pink dye put in.

I asked his mom about it and she said they did it on a whim. It took forever to find someone to do it. Then she said our son thought I’d like it. I told her I was angry that it was over the top with the bleaching and dye. She should have ran it by me first

After thinking about it, I decided no more weekend visits. This obviously upset her. My son doesn’t know about it but understands that the weekend thing is not a guarantee. I’m not opposed to her seeing him at my house.

If my son asked, I would not let him bleach his hair. I’d seriously let him get his nose pierced before bleaching his hair.

Introduction

The flight, intended for a seven-day trip to Japan, held a special moment for Michael Rutherford and his son. Seated in the business class cabin, Rutherford found himself in front of his son, who was accompanied by a friend.

GUY CHAO GENG BY FAKING ALLERGY SO THAT HE CAN LEAVE WORK EARLY

0

I faked a shellfish allergy to get out of work early.

I’m 18-years-old and I was working at an f&b restaurant at the time. My managers know that I have prawn allergies and I serve many tables who order seafood with prawns.

One day we were super busy I felt like crap and wanted to just go home.

I ended up purposefully eating a piece of shrimp to make me break out and my face to swell up. My face was a little swollen but it isn’t life threatening or anything, I just break out in itchy rashes but that’s about it.

I told my manager I must have gotten seafood in me and insisted I must leave to see a doctor, exagerrating my symptoms and acting like I was gasping for air.

They were all worried and let me leave and I went home feeling like a king.

I spent the rest of the day at home playing games lol.

Netizens comments

  • How shellfish of you.
  • Whale done.
  • Your efforts are very ef-fish-ient
  • I sea what you did there

GUY HATES HIS WHOLE ENTIRE FAMILY, EACH ONE OF THEM FOR THEIR OWN REASONS

0

A netizen shared how he hates his whole family, with a different reason for hating them for each family member.

Here is the story:

I hate my family, all of them, each for their own reasons

Please don’t tell me that I’ll accept them as I’m older. I think I won’t even tell them if I got married or had children and I know that would break them,

but every time I ever express frustration right now, I get dismissed with “I don’t wanna hear it.” I hate the fact that relationally, my parents have all the power and I have none.

I’m moving out in a few months and I’m genuinely wondering if it will be the end. The sad thing is literally the only reason I’d ever stay in touch would to not get cut out of the inheritance.

It hurts, so, so much. I’m writing this because I’m particularly vulnerable right now, but I might elaborate more if people cared.

Editor’s note: No point wasting your life holding on to a grudge that isn’t worth it, or makes sense.

GF FOUND OUT THAT BF SLEEPING WITH BOTH MEN AND WOMEN

0

I was there for him through everything. I helped him financially. I helped him emotionally. I gave him advice and encouragement when he didn’t have it. I was there for him when he didn’t have anyone else in his life (that should have been a red flag).

My birthday is in a week and I wanted to spend it with him. I also was planning to buy him a huge teddy bear, his favorite candy and going out to dinner with him for our anniversary. But instead, I found out from his friend that numerous times after I left, he’d invite other girls AND SOMETIMES GUYS over and sleep with them. This explains why he asked me to help him move his bed from his wall that’s next to his roommates wall (she still ended up finding out and showing me evidence). He doesn’t care, has blamed me and said it’s my fault for volunteering do everything I did for him, and has blocked my number.

I accept my part in this. I gave him way too much soon and have to take full responsibility for it. But I still feel very hurt. And I still feel like a loser.

Here are what netizens think:

  • It really isn’t your fault you got cheated on and taken advantage of. It sucks that you sound like such a sweet and giving person and it ended up wasted on some self-centered jerk. Him blaming you is a weak deflection.
  • You aren’t a loser. You cared for someone who wasn’t what you thought he was. You learn from these experiences. Best wishes.
  • You’re not a loser- a loser is a person who cheats on their partner. You gave what you wanted to give and what felt right for you to give in a relationship. Unfortunately he used you and has hurt you in doing so. The best thing you can do is block him and look after you. He took a lot from you and now it’s time to give it back to yourself. You deserved better. He is not better.

GIRL’S FATHER IS CHEATING WITH SOMEONE WHO IS HER AGE

0

I am kind of reeling. My Mum doesn’t want to talk about it and just says I don’t understand what it means to be married. Maybe I don’t but I really really really don’t think this is right.

My Dad (49M) and my Mum (47F) have been married 20+ years. They have me (21M) and my younger sibling. Don’t want to get into sibling’s age/gender as they don’t know anything about this. They’re younger though. Sibling was diagnosed with cancer 8 years ago and it was a big big journey to make sure that sibling got through it. It took a big toll on the whole family. My mum gave up her job to look after sibling full time. It was over 2 years of back and forth. But we got lucky, sibling is thriving now.

My dad has a high powered job and always worked a lot but he always made it home for dinner. But then about a year into sibling’s treatment, he started working late. Then over time, it was 2 nights and for the past few years it’s been half the week.

It was always sort of clear that sibling’s illness didn’t exactly bring our parents together. My mum got totally into that and tbh she wasn’t always very present for me emotionally but sibling was so unwell that I just kind of got it. She’s been great ever since.

I asked my mum a few years ago if she and dad were happy and she said that marriage is more than just romance and rainbows and that they had a life together. Which didn’t really answer my question or maybe it did.

About a year ago I finally twigged that my dad was having an affair and it had been going on for a while. Basically I found a document that indicated that he rents a flat somewhere in the east. There was just this moment when I realised and my mum saw it kind of sink in and she just shook her head and I didn’t say anything.

Two days ago I found out who his mistress was. It’s a girl who was in my class at school. “Izzie” actually used to go out with my best friend from ages 14-16. My friend was distraught when she broke up with him. It seems like she did this because she had met my dad. He rented a flat and they’ve been having an affair for 5 years.

I confronted my dad and he just told me that it was none of my business, that his relationship with my mother had ‘evolved’ when my sibling got sick and that his need for intimacy had ‘upgraded’ and that Izzie can meet them in a way that my mother cannot. WTF??????!

He said and my mother confirmed that he told my mum that he was planning to have an affair with Izzie before it started and that “ground rules” were set so that Izzie couldn’t come to our house and that he would still be home x number of nights a week and that no more than X amount of money would be spent on Izzie. My mother gave her permission and that’s been the situation ever since. My mother just said she didn’t want to discuss it and that relationships change over time.

My dad said that he would go and stay in his flat for the rest of the week while I cooled off but that he would come back on Monday and that we wouldn’t be talking about it again.

I’m physically kind of nauseous about this whole thing and I don’t want anyone to know. My dad is just a total creep. I hadn’t spoken to Izzie in a long time but I remember her as really quiet and very clever. She is also very beautiful. Her parents had a very messy divorce during the last couple of years at school and I remember her being very upset about it. I can’t believe that she’s put in 5 years of her life into this. My friend really loved her – he spent a good 2 years trying to win her back.

I don’t know what to do. I hate how my mother can’t meet my eye. I feel like sibling knows something’s up and I don’t want to lie. It’s like the house I thought was made of bricks was just made out of straw but I don’t know if I have the spine to blow the whole thing down. Would we be better off??
